Guardian II Hemostasis Valve, models 8210 and 8211. The following models are only available Outside the US: FH101, FH101-T, FH101-25, and FH101-50. Product Usage: The Guardian hemostasis valves are designed to be used as conduits when interventional devices with diameters up to 8 F are inserted into the human vascular system. The devices have two seals: the low-pressure seal, and the high-pressure seal. Closure of the high-pressure seal, which is achieved when the nut can no longer rotate, secures the diagnostic/interventional device in position within the vasculature and allows for pressure injections up to 600 psi.
